Different plants like oaks, willows and almonds trees exist there. There is no any fish in this lake due to extremely salty water, however, different kinds of amphibians are living there.

Furthermore, Maharloo Lake water typically evaporates by the end of summer and exposes the white lake bed. By mid-summer and due to high evaporation rates and salt concentrations, the lake water turns pinkish red as a result of the red tide within the lake.
